Supernatural girl bravely enters the world of Conan

Chapter 5 serial murder on luxury liner

Xiaolan said worriedly, "Miss, are you alright?"

The girl looked at Xiaolan in surprise, then smiled embarrassedly, wiped away her tears and said, "It's okay. I just suddenly remembered my parents who passed away in a car accident last year. I really want them to see that I am wearing a dress today." look."

The girl looked at the sky with a sad smile on her face, and she could see that she was eager.

"Like in a dress?" Xiaolan asked strangely.

At this time, a young man came over and looked at the girl with a smile and said, "What's wrong? Xia Jiang,"

When the girl "Xiao Wu" saw the man, she immediately had a happy smile on her face. The little bird threw herself into the man's arms, turned around and said to Xiao Lan with a happy smile, "Actually, today is our day of great joy."

"Big, overjoyed?" Xiaolan said in surprise.

The girl named Xia Jiang smiled and said, "Yes, because we just held a wedding ceremony on Qiben Island this morning."

"Really? Congratulations..." Xiaolan looked envious and blessed, but suddenly thought of something, and asked strangely, "Why is it held on that island?"

Xia Jiang smiled softly and said, "Because that island is mostly owned by our Banner family, and it enshrines the ancestors of the past generations. The Banner family has a tradition that all family weddings are held on the island."

However, Xiaoxin doesn't know all this, she is writing a novel with a wireless laptop in her room at the moment.

night.

Mori Kogoro, Xiaolan, Conan, Xiaoxin and Xia Jiang sat at the dining table.

Qiben Xiajiang drew the relationship between their Banner family on the paper and said: "These are all direct blood relatives of the Banner family."

Xiao Lan said in surprise: "Hey, then all these people came to your wedding?"

Xia Jiang said: "That's right, except for Mom and Dad. There are nine people in total..."

Xiaoxin rolled her eyes, she was not interested in the relationship of these wealthy families, but she felt more and more uneasy in her heart, looked at Conan, he listened to Xia Jiang very seriously,

"It's strange, why didn't Xiao Wu come?" Xiao Lan looked outside and said.

Xiaoxin's heart skipped a beat, and the bad feeling became stronger and stronger. Damn it, she shouldn't have come out with Death!In the end, I can only comfort myself, thinking that this is good, and I have a good relationship with the god of death. It is right that the one who dies will always be Lujia people and not her.

After a while, Mariko, Hokuro, Akie and Ryuu arrived one after another, and then Ichiro also arrived.

Xiang Er saw that the Banner Patriarch hadn't arrived yet, so he asked, "Why hasn't Dad come yet?"

Kenji Suzuki, the housekeeper of the Hatakemoto family, replied: "Please wait a moment, everyone, we will be here soon."

Xiaoxin pursed her mouth, praying silently in her heart: don't have an accident, don't have an accident, don't have an accident...

Suddenly, when Xia Jiang asked Xiaolan if she had someone she liked, the reaction of Xiaolan and Conan really made Xiaoxin laugh endlessly. It looks like they are really a perfect match.

However, Mori Kogoro said with a dry smile: "Xiaolan is still a child, how could it be..."

The corner of Xiao Xin's mouth twitched, it's almost time, or a child?If she remembers well, it seems that people in Japan can get married at the age of 16, right?Could it be that she remembered wrongly?

Xiaolan immediately retorted: "Who says I don't have someone I like? You don't understand at all."

Xiaoxin stood up and said, "Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom."

"Xiaoxin, do you want me to accompany you?" Xiaolan stood up and said a little worriedly.

Xiaoxin shook her head and said, "No, I know where it is."

Xiao Xin got up and left after finishing speaking, and finally looked at the people sitting there, Xiao Wu and the Banner Patriarch had not arrived at the scene yet, so something really happened, right?

When Xiaoxin came out after going to the toilet, she saw the butler of the Banner's family standing in front of the door of the head of the Banner's family, holding a flower in his hand.

The butler Banner knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.

Xiaoxin came over and said, "Grandpa housekeeper, what's wrong?"

The butler looked at Xiaoxin and said, "Master may be asleep, so I'll call him right now." After speaking, the butler took out the key and opened the door of the room. "Excuse me, sir, everyone is waiting for you."

Suddenly, the housekeeper didn't know what he saw, and suddenly stepped back and yelled loudly.

Xiaoxin's heart skipped a beat, sure enough, did something happen?

Seeing the butler sitting on the ground and retreating in a hurry, Xiaoxin couldn't help but wondered, "Grandpa butler? What's wrong with you?" When he arrived at the door, he saw the owner of the Banner family in a state of tragic death covered in blood.

"Ah!!!!" After Suzuki, the housekeeper, was Xiaoxin's soprano, and then Xiaoxin rolled her eyes and passed out.This is the first time she has seen a dead person... Damn Death!

"Xiaoxin, Xiaoxin, wake up..." Xiaoxin slowly opened her eyes, and saw Xiaolan's worried face, her face turned red slightly, she was so ashamed that she was fainted by the picture of a dead person .Turning around and seeing Patriarch Banner from the gap between the crowd at the door, his face turned pale...

"Huh, it's fine, Conan, Xiaoxin will be taken care of by you." After speaking, Xiaolan threw Xiaoxin to Conan, who made Conan his brother?

At this time, Mori Kogoro was already performing his duties as a detective. Conan really wanted to investigate the case, but he looked at Xiaoxin, sighed slightly and said, "Xiaoxin, are you okay?"

Xiaoxin resisted the urge to vomit, stood up and said, "I'm fine, you go and find clues."

If it really depends on Maori, then the murderer will definitely be let go by Maori.

"Then, you can rest on the side, and don't watch it if you can't stand it." After finishing speaking, Conan ran to the scene of the murder.

Xiao Xin sat on one side leaning against the wall to rest, she didn't listen to what they said, she only knew that Xiao Wu's approach to Xia Jiang was actually to avenge her father, it really was a grudge against a wealthy family.

Xiaoxin suddenly heard Conan asking the housekeeper if he found the flowers here, Xiaoxin felt a little curious, looked at Conan at the door, but her adaptability was really strong, she fainted just now when she saw the corpse, now she feels nothing .

He got up and went over and said, "Hey, Mr. Detective, what did you find?"

Conan was taken aback, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Xiaoxin, "Why, are you not afraid anymore?"

Xiaoxin shrugged his shoulders, squatted beside Conan and said, "My adaptability is as strong as Superman, and I'm fine now. Are you holding bread crumbs?"

Conan nodded and said, "It's strange, the blood at the door has traces of being wiped, and then added the bread crumbs here."

Xiao Xin raised her eyebrows and said, "Then, the murderer isn't Xiao Wu?"

Conan didn't answer Xiao Xin's words, but stood up and asked the butler Suzuki behind him, "Hey, butler Suzuki, I would like to ask if there is any bread in the dishes for today's wedding?"

Xiaoxin is strange, today's wedding? ?Is there a wedding?Why didn't she know, uh, it seems that she was not with Conan, she missed a lot.

Suzuki said, "Of course there is, because it's French cuisine. This is Mr. Shoji, who runs a French restaurant. He insisted on doing it this way."

Xiaoxin thought, since the blood on the door was wiped off by the cymbal, how could it be possible that the flower was not found?Obviously the murderer must not be Xiao Wu. There are two possibilities for the flower. One is that the murderer put it there on purpose, and the other is that the murderer noticed that there were too many flowers and left the flower there after the blood stains to mislead people. .

In any case, Xiao Wu was cleared of suspicion.

"Has everyone eaten bread?" Xiaoxin asked when he heard Suzuki's words.

Conan who opened his mouth was suddenly speechless, this is exactly what he wanted to ask.

Suzuki really knows what to ask.

"Except for the master." Suzuki said with a slight bend, then lowered his head and whispered to Xiaoxin and Conan, "Master, he hates western food the most, especially bread. He said he felt like throwing up when he saw it."

Xiaoxin was stunned, that Xianger is also the son of the head of Banner, right?It should be clear that the head of the banner family does not eat bread and Western food, why insist on displaying Western food?It's really strange.

"Then, does Master Xiang'er use his own props when he cooks?" Conan asked, looking at Xiang'er who was not far away.

"Yes, those are all his treasures." Suzuki also looked at Shouji, but Xiaoxin was very suspicious whether he could see or not, because his eyebrows completely covered his eyes.

Well, this is not the point.

At this time, Suzuki reached out and rubbed the heads of Xiaoxin and Conan and said, "It's weird, don't worry about it so much for a child."

Xiaoxin was ashamed, she only said this after she had finished speaking, wouldn't most people say this at the beginning and then leave?Well, this Suzuki butler is also strange.Enen, that's it, everyone in the Banner family is surprised.

After that, Xiao Wu, who was suspected of being the murderer, was locked up, and everyone went back to the hall for dinner.

However, they actually discussed the issue of property openly in the hall. It is really chilling to know that the head of the banner family has just died, and his descendants are directly concerned about property.This is a wealthy family, all family affection is fart, and property is the truth.

Xiao Xin took a sip of the juice, and looked at the people of the Ban family with contempt.

At this time, the butler said: "I'm sorry, I have to report something to let everyone know, the master is just in case. The property matter has been settled a long time ago."

Then, everyone became restless, because it was written in the will that everything belonged to Xia Jiang.

Conan was bored listening to the quarrel of the crowd.

Xiaoxin ate dinner quietly by herself, and at some point Conan and Xiaolan disappeared.And Xia Jiang was gone, she thought, Conan and the others should have gone to find Xia Jiang.

Suddenly, another scream made Xiao Xin have to stop eating, sighed and muttered: "Why can't you even eat dinner quietly?"

Following everyone to the bow, the dead man was Ryuo Hatakemoto.

"Sure enough, I don't feel dizzy or vomit now." Conan's voice rang in Xiaoxin's ear, Xiaoxin pretended not to hear it, and then said softly, "Why, don't you go to investigate the case?"

Conan half-moon eye, walked away.

The long (long) man died from a severe blow to the head, Xiaoxin silently speculated in his heart.There was only one person on this passenger ship, except for the dead head of the Banner family and Long Nan,

Needless to say, Conan Xiaolan and Kogoro must not be the murderer, and of course she herself is impossible.So there are only five people left, Xiao Wu who went out and was locked up.

Then, Xiao Xin looked at Xia Jiang, who was also suspected.However, if she was with Xiaolan and the others at the time of the incident, it could be ruled out.

Xiaoxin walked up to Xiaolan, and said quietly to Xiaolan: "Sister Xiaolan, were you and sister Xiajiang together at that time?"

Xiaolan was taken aback for a moment, and then realized what time Xiaoxin said at that time. Xiaolan touched Xiaoxin's head and said, "Sure enough, they are brothers and sisters. They both like to reason. It's the same as Xinyi, but you can Don't become a reasoning freak. Hehe, Miss Xia Jiang was indeed with me and Conan at the time."

Xiaoxin was a little speechless for Xiaolan's many words, but she also knew that the suspects in the end were Mariko, Beilang, Ichiro, Qiujiang and Shoji.

Which one of these five people is the murderer?In fact, Xiaoxin himself is more suspicious of Ichiro, and he doesn't know why.It may be that he was the last person to enter the hall besides Xiao Wu before the head of Banner's death.

Conan suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly ran to the warehouse of the passenger ship, Xiaoxin hurriedly followed, and Kogoro followed.When they ran to the warehouse, the door had been opened, and there was no one inside.

Xiao Xin's heart sank. The warehouse door can only be opened from the outside, and Xiao Wu cannot open the door inside. Then, it is very likely that the murderer deliberately opened the door to let Xiao Wu run out, and then planted...

However, it is not impossible for someone to let Xiao Wu go soft-hearted, and then Xiao Wu meets a dragon boy, and then...

Xiaoxin shook her head, she was a little confused.

Maybe subconsciously, she didn't want Xiao Wu to be the murderer, so she kept excluding him all the time. She was a little dizzy, she was overthinking, hey, it would be nice if she had a brain with a super high IQ like Conan.

Xiao Wu escaped, and the matter became more serious.

Qiu Jiang and everyone thought it was Xia Jiang's fault for leading the wolf into the house.

Xiao Xin frowned, feeling a bit uneasy, and said, "Actually, the murderer may not be Mr. Xiao Wu, because the door of the warehouse cannot be opened from the inside."

"Yes, and we haven't been corrupted." Mori Kogoro also reflected, and said thoughtfully: "Who opened the door for him? There must be an accomplice."

Xiao Xin was awakened by Xiao Goro's words, yes, there might be an accomplice, although it is possible that the owner of the banner family was not killed by Xiao Wu, but... no, this is not right, Xiao Xin is getting more and more confused now.

Conan went to find the butler Suzuki again, and Xiaoxin followed. She suddenly felt that solving the case was actually very interesting, but it was a little brain-intensive.

Conan was going to ask about the relationship between Suzuki Hokuro and Banner Banner. The butler told them that Beilang felt that he was not suitable for business and wanted to leave, but Banner Banner objected to his leaving, and then said that, in fact, Banner Banner did not object. Hokuro's wife Mariko also forbade him to do so.

Suddenly, Bei Lang stood up and said, "Ah, Mr. Mori, my son has been going to the bathroom for 10 minutes. He hasn't come back yet."

Mariko also said in horror: "It's hard, could it be that Xiaowu..."

It's self-evident if I didn't go on, could it be that Xiao Wu told Ichiro...

At this time, there was a sudden power outage.Then I heard Ichiro screaming. Ichiro didn't die, but he was stabbed, and the knife was thrown aside.

Everyone came to the switch room. There were heavy objects, candles and ropes beside the switch.

Kogoro explained: "This is a simple timing device. Anyone can do it. First fix the breaker, tie a heavy object to pull it, and then burn a candle in the middle of the rope until the candle burns out. When the rope is lifted, the heavy object falls, and the breaker will automatically turn off the power."

From the way the candles burn, the device has been on the shelf here for a long time.Xiaoxin sighed, it seems that she is really not a reasoning material, she has no clue.

But if it goes like this, everyone is suspicious.

After that, everyone waited in the hall, Kogoro, Xiaolan, Conan, Xiaoxin and the butler went to find Xiaowu.

However, after searching the entire passenger ship, there was no trace of Xiao Wu.

Suddenly, Xiaoxin thought of something, pulled Conan and said, "Hey, Conan, I thought of something."

"En?" Conan looked at Xiaoxin and said, "What's the matter?"

Xiaoxin thought for a while and said: "If anyone can make that timing device, then, can Ichiro do it too? If, if I say that I suspect that the murderer is Ichiro..."

The first two were killed, but Ichiro was only injured, which is too strange, and Ichiro took too long to go to the toilet, as if deliberately waiting for that time, when everyone was in the hall...

Conan shrunk through the hole, and then fell into deep thought, Xiaoxin stopped talking when she saw this, this was just her speculation.It was the first time she did such a thing, maybe she was thinking wrong?I have already expressed my doubts, so I will leave the rest to Mr. Death.Uh, it’s still the detective maniac that Xiao Lan said, hehe...

In Xiang Er's room, Conan found Xiang Er's box containing knives, and two knives were missing from it.

Then in Ichiro's room.However, it's strange that Ichiro's paintings are basically all Xia Jiang, why?Isn't it, isn't it?Ichiro likes Xia Jiang? ? ? ?

Uh, it's impossible, hahaha, Xia Jianghe is Ichiro's relatives... She was thinking too much, Xiaoxin was ashamed, she thought that Ichiro liked Xia Jiang, she was really speechless.

Conan suddenly opened the cabinet, and then closed it with a look of horror.

Kogoro walked over and said, "Little ghost, what did you find?"

Conan smiled unnaturally and said, "No, no."

Xiaoxin looked at Conan suspiciously, and then looked at the cabinet. Is there anything in it?Well, could it be Xiao Wu?Apart from this, she really couldn't think of anything Conan was hiding.

Then, Xiaoxin saw Conan whispering to the butler again, and the butler reacted greatly, um, it seems that the truth is about to emerge, hehe.

"Hehe, it seems that you know who the murderer is, and the evidence is complete." Seeing Conan taking out his watch, Xiao Xin walked to Conan's side and said with a smile.

Then, Conan's standard half-moon eyes glanced at Xiao Xin, and shouted at Mao Li who had already walked out: "Uncle, can you come here?"

Then, Kogoro came over obediently and asked, "What's the matter? What did you find?"

Conan shot the anesthesia needle at Kogoro, and then Kogoro fell directly on the ground.

Xiaoxin and Conan struggled to help Kogoro sit on the sofa, but Conan hid himself and said, "Xiaoxin, please."

Xiao Xin rolled her eyes and walked out.

Seeing Xiaoxin, Xiaolan said, "Xiaoxin, what's wrong? Where are Conan and Dad?"

Xiaoxin said: "Uncle Mao Li said that he has something important to announce, kiss everyone and come to Miss Qiujiang's room in 10 minutes."

Xiaolan blinked and said, "Important thing?"

Xiaoxin nodded and said, "Well, then I'll leave it to you." After speaking, Xiaoxin went to Miss Qiujiang's room.When he returned to the room, he nodded to Conan.

At this time, everyone who got the news came to Ms. Qiujiang's room and said in shock, "Eh? Have you caught the murderer?"

Conan said in Kogoro's voice, "Well, on this boat, three people committed the murder of Ann."

Xiang Er was very surprised, and stammered, "Here. Who is it? Please tell me quickly."

Mariko said angrily, "It must be Xiao Wu."

Qiu Jiang also said: "Yes, it must be him."

Xiao Xin rolled her eyes, is there any need to jump to conclusions so hastily?

Conan said in Kogoro's voice: "Everyone, don't worry. Before I say the murderer's name, please remember one thing first. First, the room that was locked from the inside is the room where Hozou (the head of the banner family) was killed. , the floor of the gate was covered with blood, so Mr. Haozang was killed outside the room, fled into the room and closed the door, and died in the room like this.”

"Also, everyone saw the flowers falling outside the room." Conan added in Kogoro's voice.

Qiu Jiang said: "Yes, that's right, the flower belonged to Xiao Wu. So of course he is the murderer."

Conan said in Kogoro's voice: "But this is strange. If Mr. Gozura was killed outside, no blood was found in the corridor."

There was a little sweat on Xiang Er's face, and he squinted and said, "That's because the murderer cleaned up the blood on the ground in order to delay the discovery of the body."

Conan said in Kogoro's voice: "That's the strange thing I said. The murderer would check the blood, but he didn't pick up the words that fell on the ground. It's understandable if the murderer fled in a hurry without seeing the flowers. Yes, but the prisoner seemed to be carefully inserted before leaving..."

(Hereafter omitted)

Sure enough, the murderer was Ichiro, and Xiaoxin had to admire Conan's mind.

Ichiro likes Xia Jiang, but Banner Patriarch wants to marry Xia Jiang to Xiao Wu.

Finally, the truth came out.
